Yuri who just woke up from his two days of sleep, without even moving an arm during his sleep after his real battle with another person and with a weapon, where he thought was just a big nightmare, he has finally come to realization that what happened during that night wasn't a nightmare or a dream but a real event.
When he woke up, he noticed his katana right beside his bed, already half of it is out of the scabbard and is now on the floor. He tried to get up but because of the excruciating pain on his right shoulder and on the left part of his side.
It is throbbing but the wounds he gets from the consecutive slashing and stabbing from Matt, has already been sealed and not of it is very lethal. Except for his right shoulder of course, it almost got cut.
"Argh..... Aurgh.....!" He groan.
He kept on trying to stand up, but he just can't and spend another hour, laying on his bed. After an hour, he tried to once again stand up from the bed and cover his wounds and treat it.
He placed his left hand on his right side, between his arm and abdomen. He then used strength to lift his upper body. when he was sitting on the bed, he placed four of his finger just under the bed to keep himself from laying once again.
He tried to stand up but ended up getting back on the floor because his legs cannot keep up with him and as if still has no energy left even after 2 days of sleeping.
He is hungry and he can even hear his own insides as if letting out a groan because of starvation, his throat is very sore and both his lips and the insides of his mouth is very dry that it is as if no saliva is left on his mouth.
"Fuck... Just a little more...!"
Trying his very best to crawl towards his katana to use as a stand and assist him to walk, he finally grabbed it after 5 whole minutes of crawling on the floor.
Using it, he placed the the other side of the handle of the katana and then use it as a stand. He hold with both hands the handle and the scabbard of the katana to not let it go and make his life more easier.
One step at a time, he try his best to go to the table, right beside the table to be specific, where there is a barrels of water. Thankfully, he remembers that he gathered enough water to make the barrels full. All the five barrels.
He took the wooden cup he created himself on the table, open the seal of the barrel and then scoop a water using his cup. He made it full and then drink it in one go which is a bad decision. He almost choked because his throat is dry and sore.
'Fuck..... Fuck... I need to eat something.... I feel like I'm gonna die if I don't eat....' he thought.
He saw a basket of fruits right on the other side of the table, there is apples and bananas. He took one banana and then pull the chair, put his katana right beside it and then sit.
He peeled the banana and then took a bite, he felt a relieved on his chest all of a sudden after swallowing that bite he just took. It suddenly felt like his favourite fruit is now a banana.
After eating it, he pulled the drawer right beside the table, and then took a bandage and covered his wounds. It felt like he was gonna be in heaven if he don't make a quick movement and took a rest after.
Finally, after treating his wounds and covering it with a bandage and clean cloth, he goes back to his bed and try to sleep a little bit more and continue his training tomorrow.
"My wounds is kind of bad but.... If that plan didn't work I would have had been dead already...." He mumbles to himself as he breath heavily because of the wounds he got, it is still throbbing.

As the fight goes on, Yuri, who managed to kept on attacking back and saw that the daggers that explode is still intact together and in fact that it is not damaged means that it can still be used.
But he is wrong!
During the time when Yuri got thrown away to a big tree and his opponent, Matt, dashed towards him to exchange attacks with, he noticed that when he stepped on a knife he throws, the very same knife that explodes when throws it at him didn't explode when he stepped on it!
So, he stabbed Matt's foot not because he wants to make his not he able to function his foot perfectly but because he wants to create a hole on the ground.
So when he noticed the chance, he acted to stabbed Matt's foot twice to measure his foot size and create a hole big enough to fit his one whole feet.
When he finally managed to do it, he run away from trees to trees that Matt thrown away the exploded knife onto. He acted that he is hiding on it but in fact, he was getting all of the knife that Matt threw at him. He managed to get enough so he planned to divert Matt's attention even if it's half a minute.
That's when he saw that Matt was about to throw a exploding knife at him so he dashed and attacked that very knife to create an explosion big enough to cover him in a smoke screen and buy him some time while he dug the very same spot he stabbed on.
While digging, he didn't know that Matt is about to get out so he just throw a knife at the smoke and when he heard a clanging sound coming from a metal, he knows that Matt is now able to recover.
While digging, he kept on throwing a lot of knives so that it can bought him more time and then placed three knives inside that hole. He only placed the handle of the knives so that it can stand and be able to work this trap perfectly.
He then covered that hole with a leaf, big enough to cover the whole hole and not make it obvious. He doesn't know if it's gonna work or not so he gets ready to attack back the moment it didn't work and just accept his fate if he doesn't managed to keep up.
But it worked!
Matt, who's mind is completely full of anger towards Yuri just ran towards him and didn't notice the leaf. His foot fell into the trap and penetrate his foot.
Yuri, who just got his hope of living more longer, dashed towards Matt with the hope of getting one more explosive knife. He tried his very best and used the ability on his right eye:
Instant Action
Instant Action is an ability granted by Hestia, the lady he saw in his dream. He doesn't know if Hestia is a real person or just a women inaide his dream. But he just accepted the ability because it can help him.
His right eye is gonna glow whenever he uses this ability although the glow of his eye is not gonna be visible to others, it helped him to conceal that he is using this ability.
Instant Action allows him to react more faster to avoid an incoming or unexpected attacks coming from his opponent, although this drained his mana, it is still useful.
He throws a lot of attacks at Matt and since Matt is more focused on his wounds on his foot and since he knows that he is more stronger than Yuri anyway, he didn't managef to saw that Yuri managed to get a knife from the lower part of his left leg using his left hand.
So, he dashed backwards and so that Matt managed to removed all the three knives from his foot and immediately run towards him, he dashed back and throws a lot of dagger, including the explosive knife he sneakily took from him.
He then hide behind a tree and wait for the explosion and just stay there for a few seconds to make sure that his opponent us already dead.And the other things happened after that.

"Sigh... I think I should really sleep now but thinking about it, I really really want to train more."
He mumbles as he once again tried to stand up but since he rested and his body regained strength because of the water and foods, he managed to successfully stand up and took his Katana outside to train.

"Hmm..... Nice." He smirked.
He then go outside and go a little bit more farther where the part he didn't discover yet, he is planning on killing a lot more dangerous animals there. He wants to test his strength.
"Alright, let's see if I can get out alive to see another day....."
Going forward, he walked towards the part of the forest where there, he felt a lot of eye looking at him. So, his right eye glow once again.

Skreeeeeee!!!!
He heard a snake or a Phyton that made an unbreakable sound, he almost lost his hearing if he didn't cover both his ear.
"...ugh."
Once again, he felt a sharp thing that was about to penetrate his whole head but due to his ability, he managed to successfully dodged it and just have a bruised on his neck. He kind of regret his decision after that.
"Damn..... I shouldn't have....."
The big serpent, slowly crawling towards him and suddenly just right Infront of him in a very very quick moment, he jumped towards his left side, where he enter this big cave that cover the light of the sun.
"Ugh... I shouldn't have gotten here just yet..... Fuck..."
He said as he smiled when he saw the serpent's both eyes, it was a glowing red and the murderous intent this beast is letting out right now can cause others, even the string ones to feel Fear for they're lives.
This kind of beast is existing in this world and if he wants to survive, he need to fight and have a lot of knowledge about this beasts.
"I'm dead." He once again said.
